Slaves and Masters is the thirteenth studio album by the English rock band Deep Purple, and was released on 22 October 1990. This is the only Deep Purple album to feature lead vocalist Joe Lynn Turner, who had joined the previous year after the firing of Ian Gillan. The band also auditioned singer Jimi Jamison, but other obligations made him unavailable Following its release, Slaves and Masters peaked at No. 87 on the US Billboard 200 chart. The album dramatically sold below expectations, as compared to Deep Purple's previous album, The House of Blue Light with Gillan, which charted at No. 34 in the US. A song from the Slaves and Masters recording sessions was rearranged for the soundtrack of the 1990 movie Fire, Ice and Dynamite. Jon Lord did not play on the song, which was performed by the four other members of the Mark V Deep Purple line-up. Despite underwhelming album sales, Deep Purple had a relatively successful tour in support of Slaves and Masters in 1991, especially for the band's European leg.
